Studio 3

The goal of this class is to cultivate mindfulness and inner calm while learning to paint with ink. Using painting as a therapeutic tool for self discovery and emotional release, students will explore different ways of expressing reality and inner dimensions. Activities will include guided meditations focused on grounding and centering, breathing techniques to enhance focus and relaxation, and gentle body movement to make the body comfortable and fluid for painting. We will also cover ink painting preparation and technique to create a beautiful work of art, using brushstrokes to convey emotion and movement. Students will come away with an understanding of the interaction between water, ink and paper, as well as traditional and innovative ink painting principles (simplicity, balance and asymmetry).
